Bathing tool for securing a cleaning object by a fixing object

ABSTRACT

A bathing tool for securing a cleaning object by a fixing object primarily uses upper and lower contacting members to secure the cleaning object, and the cleaning object is compressed to form an accommodating space, such that the fixing object can be secured into a fixed position simultaneously. Such arrangement can save the traditional process of having a hole on the cleaning object and the contacting members, and effectively enhance the effect of securing the fixing object and prevent the cleaning object from being improperly pulled and damaged.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a bathing tool for securing a cleaningobject by a fixing object, more particularly to a structure foreffectively securing a cleaning object by a fixing object for takingbaths.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Taking a bath, soap bubbles alone is unable to efficiently remove dirtfrom our body. The cuticle cells attached to the surface of the skinrequire a bathing tool to clean our skin effectively. Furthermore, ourhands produce some oil or grease, which obstructs production of bubbles.Therefore, designing bathing tools generally includes meshes, which cangive smaller bubbles and efficiently uses the soap to clean our bodyskin.

Present bathing tools roughly divide into meshed bath balls or bodysponges. After bathing, the tools need rinsing and drying to preventcontamination. Therefore, a bathing tool usually comes with a fixingobject to hold the bathing tool when taking a bath, and afterwards hangat an appropriate dry place. However, the present way of attaching tothe fixing object is improper, because it is necessary to make a hole inthe sponge and pass the fixing object through the hole. When taking abath, the user generally squeezes the sponge to produce a substantialdeformation, and thus may break the meshed structure near the holedamaging the sponge.

To solve such a problem, bathing tool manufacturers usually adopt washedunwoven cloth to wrap around the body sponge. Such arrangement not onlyreduces the deformation of the sponge, but also improves the cottontexture by the loose lines and excellent breathability of washed unwovencloth. However, the way of fixing it with a fixing object is yet toimprove; the sponge still has a hole for the attachment. The washedunwoven cloth separating sponge from fixing object can only delay thedamage to the sponge. If users (particularly children) pull the bathtool too much, the body sponge damages and the washed unwoven cloth willbe torn.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to solve theaforementioned problems and eliminate the drawbacks of cited prior art.The present invention eliminates the shortfalls of passing the fixingobject through the cleaning object. Upper and lower contacting members(washed unwoven cloth) combine with the cleaning object (body sponge),such that the cleaning object is compressed to form an accommodatingspace. The fixing object can be secured into position simultaneously toenhance the effect of securing the fixing object, and prevent thecleaning object from being pulled and damaged improperly.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The details and technical contents of this invention will be describedtogether with the following figures:

FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram of the appearance of the presentinvention.

FIG. 2 is an illustrative diagram of the fixing object encompassing thecleaning object according to the present invention.

FIG. 3 is an illustrative diagram of the upper and lower contactingmembers being combined together according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIG. 1 for the illustrative diagram of the disassembledparts of the structure of the present invention. In the figure, thebathing tool 10 of the present invention comprises a cleaning object 11,a fixing object 12 coupled to the cleaning object 11, upper and lowercontacting members 13, 14 for wrapping the cleaning object 11. Thecleaning object 11 could be a general elastically compressible bodysponge; the fixing object 12 could be a rope; and the upper and lowercontacting members 13, 14 could be made of washed unwoven cloth.

Refer to FIG. 2. In accordance with this invention, the fixing object 12surrounds the exterior of the cleaning object 11, and preferablysurrounds the fixing object 12 at the middle. Then, the upper and lowercontact members 13, 14 mutually connect as shown in FIG. 3. Thermalcompression technology is adopted for fixing the joint. The cleaningobject 11 is compressed during the connecting process of the upper andlower contacting members 13, 14. The cleaning object 11 compresses tofit the accommodating space 111 and surrounds the fixing object 12, suchthat the fixing object 12 can be securely coupled into the accommodatingspace 111 as shown in FIG. 5.

Please refer to FIG. 4 for bathing tool 10 assembly. Since the fixingobject 12 is combined with the cleaning object 11 by encompassing thecleaning object 11, the connecting surface is larger than thetraditional hole thus giving a more secure connection. The accommodatingspace 111 produced by the cleaning object 11 during compression furtheraids connection and will not damage the integrity of the cleaning object11. Therefore, unlike the traditional improper way of exerting forcethrough a hole, the present invention will not damage the cleaningobject 11. The upper and lower contacting members 13, 14 are notdirectly connected to the fixing object 12 through the combiningprocess; when the fixing object 12 is pulled, the upper and lowercontacting members 13, 14 will not break because the upper and lowercontacting members 13, 14 are not fixed to their positions.

While the present invention has been described in connection with whatis considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it isunderstood that the invention is not limited to the disclosedembodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements includedwithin the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation andequivalent arrangements.

1. A bathing tool for securing a cleaning object by a fixing object,comprising: a cleaning object; a fixing object, coupled to said cleaningobject; and upper and lower contacting members, for wrapping saidcleaning object; wherein, said fixing object encompasses the exterior ofsaid cleaning object. The upper and lower contacting members mutuallyengage and compress said cleaning object to define an accommodatingspace disposed at the compressed position for securing a fixing objecttherein.
